Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ute, have you ever played 'Storyteller'?

_______
@Nishio-

Now he realized why other people weren't talking to her as readily, the others around him did not quite understand this girl, he himself didn't she seemed to speak in riddles, not complicated riddles but riddles nonetheless and he was having to think about how he was going to answer.

Still, he couldn't guess at her last riddle so easily, she meant two things yet said only one, or so he thought. He knew that she didn't like the drink, but a quest? That sounded little too much like hard work. Yet he found himself already in a world that required hardships of him, why not just this one extra.

"You're not going to give me a straight answer are you." And to be honest assumed he was being manipulated, yet he had been the one to start the conversation, why not play along, "Alright, I'll go along with it. What would you have me do?"

"Pieces and Maps, a clue and a problem.
For the minstrel can do neither tell the answer or without the treasure.
The creator of dreams and the master of logic. Using both tools one must solve
the Minstrels Dilemna" Her head turned sharply and her voice toneless as
she spoke to the boy who made little of his presence. He could hear her, he
could see her but he would not speak to her. For he was one of them and not
one of them all at the same time.

Pleased she was, with the man's response. For she had a problem but she also
had a clue for those who brought the answer. She looked at the boy and extended
her hand, reaching out to him, for he would join them if he wished, "Take my
quest and deliver my gift. Of creation and banishment, the philosophers
laboratory, take with you to the Gentle Inn, this parchment to be underlined,
with a property unique from the text. A clue you shall get if I should have,
but a soursweet drink, clear as water, yet filled with a whisper."

Hah, I always called it Storyteller. xd . What Nishi didn't tell you, is that it has to be real. That's a fundamental rule of the game, well usually only The Story Master is aware of this rule. You just have to find what they're talking about with the clues they give you.

If you speak out of character you won't get a clue and you won't find the answer... not much more to it than that. I enjoy it though, surprised you haven't heard of it.

Oh...before I forget. You have just been roped in. So I can't find the answer or problem whichever it may be unless you help out. So feel free to join in.

@ Nishi-

He looked back at the barman, whom seemed to have a grin plastered over his face. Had all of this been set up just to lure him in so that he'd take the bait? Her words were curious as well, it had been as if she had spoken a spell and entrapped them all. He doubted she had but he couldn't help the feeling that he had to see this through to the end without break.

She also seemed to be indicating someone else in the room, seemingly a boy to her, but he, Daigoro wasn't sure of the young mans age, only that he'd been here the entire time, he hadn't entered the room or left, but had for the most part remained quiet. He seemed fairly familiar as well.

"So basically this is a search and find quest." He thought out loud. Yet he didn't get the clue. Where would he find somewhere that dealt with philosophy? Perhaps she meant the forum of science. Yet the forum of science was a place where items were rarely ever forgotten always recreated, with a new perspective. He'd also never heard of the Gentle Inn, perhaps it was far away.

Daigoro stood in thought for a moment, she'd revealed clues throughout her message, probably some of them unintentional. Map, he could look through a map of the area and see if he couldn't find something more suitable than the forum of science.

I'm impressed. You catch on quick. Lets go. Just stay in character otherwise I won't find out what the hell she's on with.

Nishi-

Daigoro clapped his hands together at the boys sudden outburst of information, he seemed quite the well traveled person, but yet wore the clothes of someone who didn't travel. Odd. Grabbing him however by his collar, Daigoro left.

"We'll be back soon." He waved.

Now test it.

...there's two things at play here. But the main thing is that the Guilds and the Main Forums work on two different systems.

It's mainly to do with how the bbcode is interpreted by the machine. In the main forums it's nested...



Now in HTML which is how the guilds run, this bbcode is valid...



Although it renders the bold function invalid for this code. Now, this code specifically alters the first tag, in the main part of Gaia they don't use HTML they use CSS in which case it can operate differently and the code above wouldn't be valid because it wouldn't be changing anything, since there are no in the text.

Now in the main part...

[color=blue][u]color=red]Gold[/color][/u][/color]

This is valid because of how the CSS interacts and we're simply applying one css on of another meaning we can nest quite easily...

...anyway...main reason, two different systems. Operating in two different ways and Gaia hasn't got the gumption to actually update the guilds properly.

Could be a good idea, but...I've got a different idea for you to work on Nishio, take a look let me know what you think.
